Sun Conjunct Aspects for Each Planet in the Natal Zodiac Chart

A Sun conjunction means that planets, angles, or other objects in an astrology chart are within 10° of each other. In astrology, conjunctions occur when planets and other points in the astrology chart are near the same point. It is still considered a conjunction when the two points are within an orb of 10°. The orb is the amount of space between two objects in an astrology chart. The smaller the orb, the more exact and stronger the conjunction will be.

How exactly conjunctions show up also depends on the sign and house of the conjunction. For example, a conjunction in the 4th House may affect your home life, while a conjunction in the 10th House has implications for your career.

What Does the Sun Mean in Astrology?

When people say they are a Virgo or a Libra, they are talking about their Sun sign. Sun sign astrology is popular because the only piece of information you need to determine the Sun sign is your birthdate. For other aspects of astrology, you need the full birth date, time, and location. So, while most people are familiar with their Sun signs, fewer people know about their full natal astrology chart.

The Sun is an important part of the natal astrology chart, but it’s not the only important component. In astrology, the Sun represents your personality, what drives you, and where you shine brightest. When the Sun comes close to another planet, it shines its light on the other body and strengthens its influence in your natal chart.

Are Sun Conjunctions Stronger Than Other Conjunctions?

Some astrologers believe that Sun aspects are stronger or more salient than others, simply because the Sun is such an important and forward aspect in astrology. However, the strength of any Sun conjunction will depend on the orb, other Sun aspects, and other aspects with the other body involved in the conjunction as well.

Sun Conjunct Aspects in Natal Astrology

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Moon

Natal Sun conjunct natal Moon gives you a special depth of intuition. Your ego and personality are completely aligned with your inner emotional self. You go off of feeling and always trust your gut. Your motivations may be a mystery, even to you, but things tend to work out in your favor when you listen to yourself. Because your Sun and Moon are so aligned for your own inner intuition, you may not be the most intuitive when it comes to other people. You may need occasional reminders to think about the needs and desires of those around you as you follow the path that feels most obvious to you.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Mercury

When your natal Sun is very close to your natal Mercury, Mercury’s qualities of intelligence and communication are highlighted. With this conjunction, you are likely very bright, talkative, and enjoy learning. You may find that for you, technology is easy to use. You might be particularly gifted with languages or writing. Debate is fun for you, just for the sake of learning. However, you have to remember that for other people debate is stressful and unpleasant. Be wary of playing the devil’s advocate. For you it’s a fun, well-intentioned game, but for others it can come off as egotistical or offensive.

Natal Sun conjunct natal Mercury is the only possible major aspect between Natal Sun and Mercury because the Sun is always within two signs of your Mercury sign in the natal chart.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Venus

With your natal Sun conjuncting your natal Venus, you are probably a social connector. You find it is easy to make friends and probably have a vibrant social life. You might even be a “people person.” Partnerships come naturally to you. However, you so love to be in them that you can lose your boundaries between yourself and the other person. As a naturally social person you’re great at reading people and anticipating what they want or need. But you must remember to keep some of that energy for yourself to replenish your reserves. Otherwise, you may find yourself surrounded by people who take advantage of your kind and intuitive nature.

Like Mercury, natal Sun conjunct natal Venus is the only major Sun/Venus aspect that is possible in the natal chart.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Mars

When the Sun shines its light on your Mars in your natal chart in a conjunction, you are a take-charge kind of person. You naturally take leadership positions, and you have a way of getting things done. Being physically active is probably essential to who you are. You’re also a passionate person in all areas of life, including in the bedroom. The more difficult side of this aspect is a tendency towards anger. You can also blow more sensitive people over with your enthusiasm and vigor. It’s important to learn how to let other people step up to the plate without dulling your sparkle. You may also need to learn techniques to control your anger.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Jupiter

Jupiter brings a feeling of ease and expansiveness to everything it touches. When natal Jupiter is conjunct your natal Sun, your essential being is bathed in a Jupiterian glow. You may find you have particularly good luck, and you probably have a generally optimistic attitude. You are interested in finding and experiencing life’s meaning. Travel and adventure attract you. You enjoy learning about different ideas and cultures. Jupiter’s abundance is generally a blessing in your life, but you do have to be careful not to overpromise. Your optimism can sometimes get the best of you!

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Saturn

Saturn is a planet of routine, structure, and boundaries. While that doesn’t seem as fun as Jupiter’s abundance or Mars’ passion, it is very necessary. Without structure and boundaries, most people would have a hard time! When your natal Saturn is conjunct your natal Sun, these Saturnian aspects come easily to you. You probably have an overall serious affect to your personality. You strive to complete everything you undertake, and you love structure and routine. To others, you have a positive effect as a stabilizing force. However, you can be incredibly critical of yourself and others. One of your life lessons will be to live and let live.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Uranus

Uranus is a planet that brings unconventionality, sudden change, and a passion for humanity. With this planet conjunct your natal Sun, there is likely a uniqueness that is inherent to your identity. You don’t care what people think. Or you do and you want them to think you are different than everyone else. You may do things specifically because they are out of the box. You also have a desire to help people and you naturally think about helping society before you think about helping yourself. People may see you as an inspiration for independent thinking and marching to the beat of your own drum. However, sometimes the path less traveled is a bit lonely unless you find others on the same path.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Neptune

With natal Neptune conjunct your natal Sun, you have a rich internal life. The power of Neptune gives you the ability to dream up ideas and the power of the Sun gives you the ability to bring them to fruition. You are likely a very creative person because of this. Remember, creativity doesn’t absolutely have to do with arts. There is creativity to be found in every area of life! Like many Neptunian aspects, you must be careful not to get lost in your head. You are a creator and possibly even a visionary, but you may need helpful people around you to keep you grounded and focused on what is actually possible.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Pluto

If you have Pluto near your Sun in the natal chart, you might be someone who comes across with an inherent sense of power or authority. If not, you are very aware of power differentials between people and how power affects people. You may be drawn towards powerful people, or towards empowering those who are downtrodden. Unfortunately, people with this placement often come across as manipulative or suspicious even if their intentions are pure. If you struggle with that, you must remember that those who truly know your character will trust your intentions and support you. Finding dependable community may be essential to your journey.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Chiron

When the Sun shines its light on Chiron in the natal astrology chart, it actually makes the Chiron wound a bit more easeful, though that doesn’t mean it is any less painful. It simply means you are more aware of what contributes to your wounding. So, you are more able and available to work on what pains you. You may be drawn to working with a therapist or a coach. You may simply be interested in reading psychology books or books about your particular experiences. Your healing journey may become your main mission in life. The good side of this is that you can help others with your experiences. The hard side of this is that you may end up leading with your trauma for most of your life, and thus reliving it at nearly every turn.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Black Moon Lilith

With your natal Black Moon Lilith conjunct your natal Sun, your wounds of shame are easily soothed. Perhaps you just don’t care what other people think of you, or you refuse to let people make you feel bad simply for being yourself. However, it may not have been like that always. It’s possible you went through a difficult period of great shame and then underwent a significant transformation that led to self-acceptance and confidence. If you’re not there yet, you will get there! With this placement in general, your sexual and sensual power is highlighted in your life. So, you might be a very sexual person.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal North Node

With the sparkle of the Sun shining on your North Node, you likely know what your purpose is in this lifetime and find it easy to move in that direction. Everything in your life seems to be leading to or culminating in your goals. This can make you seem singularly minded to others, but you’re just doing what makes you happy, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, you may get to a point in life where you feel burnt out or imbalanced because you’ve been solely focused on one thing for so long. You may also find it is hard to keep relationships and friendships that are not related to your life’s purpose. If you become unhappy, then part of your life’s work is actually to find balance, even if it detracts from your goals a bit. In this case, finding balance will allow you to continue further on your path overall.

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal South Node

If your natal Sun is conjunct your natal South Node, you also have your natal Sun opposite your natal North Node. This means that your Sun, or your overall personality, is opposite your life’s purpose. You may feel fear or mystery about your reasons for being alive. You may have a hard time breaking old habits and creating new ones. To ease the challenge of this placement, you need to find balance, but in a different way than people with the natal Sun conjunct the natal North Node. You need to find the courage to move even a little bit towards your goals while still respecting your comfort level. Try to find the “stretch” zone rather than the zone of discomfort. Take things step by step and you might be surprised how far you get!

Natal Sun Conjunct Natal Midheaven

When you have your natal Sun conjunct your natal Midheaven, your goals, public self, and career are probably a strong focus of your life. You may enjoy the spotlight. Even if you don’t, you are probably very focused on your image. You might have a gift for social media. You want to be successful, and you want people to perceive you as successful. Most of your friendships are likely related to your work, and even your hobbies are probably beneficial to your career in some way. Obviously, this has a harder side. You can easily fall into an imbalance or even burn out by ignoring everything that is unrelated to your career. Giving yourself a break once in a while to keep your energy up will actually allow you to reach the heights of success you so desire.
